I've been busy earning my Motherhood Badges

It's been a bit of a trying week. My normally bouncy, hungry eat-a-saurus, enthusiastic and playful Cody has been sick. Since Tuesday. He missed school, two playdates, and an invitation to play outside with the neighbors, and I think we're all getting cabin fever. At least it was a rainy day yesterday. It was a good reason to get caught up on laundry and housework. And of course, curling up with my boys! By the way, if you haven't seen "Night at the Museum" it's very cute. And clean!

This morning Cody had another, ahem..."episode" and once I got the bathroom cleaned and sanitized once again, I went to check on the baby. He has been drinking water like a crazy person, which is sooooo good, but his diapers haven't been able to keep up. When I went to change him, he needed a bath. So I stripped him down and ran to run the bath which literally took me ten seconds at most. When I returned, my little cherub boy was sitting in a puddle of his making and...PLAYING in it. Oh joy.

All of this is to say (and I'm sorry if it's TMI) that I believe I have certainly earned a few badges on my motherhood vest this week. I know you mommies out there can certainly relate.

Hope your boys are feeling better! My son has come down with a tummy bug too, but thankfully it's not one of those "gotta run to the loo" types! Hopefully it's run it's course or he will be home from school tomorrow.

About Me

Welcome! I am Happi...I am a thirty-something year-old Christian woman, married to my college sweetheart for 10 years, the homeschooling mother of my two precious boys, ages 8 and 4, a private voice and piano instructor and Usborne Books consultant. Thanks for buzzing by!

About My Faith

I am a woman who believes that Jesus Christ died for my sins, that He rose again, and that He is coming back again. I have put my faith and trust in Him because I believe that the Word of God, the bible, is truth. I pray that my life would be a living reflection of who He is and that His love would shine through me in all I do and say. I spent several years living "on my own" and out of God's will, and those were some of the most trying times of my life. I learned that I cannot do anything good apart from God. I also learned that God's unending, amazing grace was (and still is) sufficient for me. I finally turned my life over to Him in 1999, and I have never looked back. Am I perfect? Oh, no! But at every turn, I know that His hand will be there to guide me, sustain me, and carry me through each day, month, and year. He is all I need!If you'd like to learn more about my faith, please feel free to contact me at happilynn@sbcglobal.net.
